BOSTON -Since the #MeToo movement took off, a multitude of male celebrities have been accused of sexual misconduct, but only a handful of those in the music and film industries who have actually faced criminal charges.Here is a list of some of the most prominent men to face criminal charges in recent years and the outcome of those cases:The ex-movie mogul was prosecuted in both New York and California after dozens of women came forward to publicly accuse him of sexual assault.
In the New York case, Weinstein was initially convicted in 2020 of raping one woman and sexually assaulting another, followed weeks of harrowing and graphic testimony from a string of accusers. But his 23-year prison sentence and conviction was overturned earlier this year, with New York’s highest court saying the trial judge unfairly allowed testimony based on allegations that were not part of the case.
The AP does not typically identify sexual assault victims without their permission, which Constand has granted. The Grammy-winning, multiplatinum-selling songwriter also was accused of using his entourage of managers and aides to meet girls and keep them from speaking out, an operation that prosecutors said amounted to a criminal enterprise.The hip-hop mogul was arrested in New York on Sept. 16 and was accused in an indictment of using his “ power and prestige ” to induce female victims and male sex workers into drug-fueled sexual performances dubbed “Freak Offs.
Three men accused Spacey of aggressively grabbing their crotches, describing him as “vile” and a “slippery, snaky” predator. Spacey said he was a “big flirt” who had consensual flings with men and whose only misstep was touching a man’s groin while making a “clumsy pass.” After an initial jury failed to reach verdicts on three counts of rape in December 2022 and a mistrial was declared, prosecutors retried Masterson on all three counts.
